What are the benefits of menstrual cycle awareness?
Menstrual cycle awareness supports the developing of a new compassionate relationship with our bodies & others around us. It is our feedback loop and our innate compass. It is as much about knowledge/ fact acquisition, practicing a mindful menstrual awareness and intuition re-connection for people with a female reproductive system.
It allows us to create an inclusive and supportive container for our own inner inquiry. Through its wisdom, we can heal and empower ourselves, reclaiming our 'response-ability' in this world, rippling out within the circles of influence we move through.
IT IS OUR CHILDREN'S & YOUNG PEOPLE BIRTH RIGHT TO BE GUIDED AND MENTORED WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS.
ALEXANDRA POPE
Honouring the menstrual cycle is an act of embracing our own natural rhythm, acknowledging the cyclical patterns that mirror the seasons and cycles of the Earth.
"Many young people in the UK are at risk of leaving school with inadequate understanding of concepts that have important implications for their reproductive health."
"There is a lack of acknowledgement of sexual and reproductive health as an important facet of an individual’s overall wellbeing."
"High quality sex education, Including menstrual cycle education, for school age students requires collaboration between parents."
How can I improve my menstrual awareness?
Menstrual Cycle Awareness offers a view lens through which we can zoom out to better zoom back in support of our period experience.
It is important to bring menstruation back within the context of the menstrual cycle, bringing the menstrual cycle back within the context of the Menstruality arc within which our menstrual lived experiences are held and finally bringing Menstruality back in the broader context of where we live on Earth; exploring the natural cycles of life and systems construct with which we interact.
Through Menstrual Cycle Awareness wisdom, we reclaim our power of agency and rest from which to forge relationships with ourselves, others and the natural world.
